If you grew up from the 70s to the 90s you know white dog poop. It’s the old, crusty – yes, white – phase that dog poop goes through as it ages on a lawn. Or it used to. Where has all the white poop gone?
In this episode of Stuff You Should Know, Josh and Chuck dive into the curious case of white dog poop and why you barely see it anymore, despite it being everywhere in the 1980s and 90s. They explore how changes in dog food formulations, specifically the shift away from bone meal and excessive calcium content, transformed what dog poop looks like and explain the science behind why that chalky white residue disappeared from sidewalks across America. Along the way, they share nostalgic stories about their own childhood dogs and offer a handy guide to what different colored dog poop actually means for your pet's health.
